The Eifion Jones Single Wicket Competition (29 August 1998)

Twenty-one men and six ladies entered this years competition, the largest
number ever.  This is a knock-out competition, and each player faces 2
overs from his/her opponent, the winner progressing to the next round.
Runs are scored in the usual way, but each time a batsman is out 6 runs are
deducted!  The large number of entries necessitated an early start and a
rapid change round after each couple of overs.  Nonetheless the final was
played in gloom at about 8 p.m.
Some winning margins were large, others quite small, and an exhausting days
cricket was followed by a barbecue.
The Ladies plate was presented to Joan Bell and Tina Osborne to be shared,
and Dave Allen beat Chris Dean in a very closely contested final.
Congratulations to all concerned and thanks to everybody who took part in
the game and/or helped organize the barbecue.
